Why Greta Gerwig should adapt The Magician’s Nephew instead of The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe

I had some thoughts. They are below the cut in list form

Something we Haven’t Been Shown Before- to put it bluntly, we already have a perfectly good adaptation of TLTWATW, and it’s probably as good and accurate an adaptation as you could ask for. There are a few minor details that got cut and added, but honestly, as far as book-to-movie adaptations go, it’s extremely faithful to the plot, themes, characters, the whole shebang of the original book. Even if you don’t count the live action movie, there’s still the animated movie, the BBC production, and several play adaptations out there. It’s had its time to shine and by adapting The Magician’s Nephew, we’d be getting something fresh from the franchise.

Equally Accessible Starting Point- while TLTWATW was the first Narnia book to be written and published, chronologically The Magician’s Nephew takes place before it, serving as both a prequel and standalone story so that newcomers to Narnia could get into the series with either book. C S Lewis himself said that it didn’t matter which one people chose to start with, so it would serve as a great entry point for anyone looking to get into the Chronicles of Narnia as well as provide an interesting prequel for people familiar with the movies that already came out, leading me to my next point:

Worldbuilding- this book has so much cool stuff you guys. The pool world, Charn, the apple grove, the rings, Frank. ¡Actual literal worldbuilding! Also Sherlock Holmes and Atlantis for some reason. There’s just a lot of really interesting concepts and locations in this story that have the potential to be a true spectacle while also serving as a rewarding expansion of the universe that Narnia fans know that newcomers will still be able to appreciate.

Our Heroes- Digory and Polly are incredibly adorable and likable protagonists. They feel a good deal more fleshed out and realistic than the Pevensie kids in the books, and even though the movies went out of their way to give them some more depths, our dynamic duo from The Magician’s Nephew still feel quite distinctive in their own right. Their interpersonal conflict never grows as deep as something like, say, Edmund’s betrayal, but they both have different perspectives and things they bring to the table as individuals while also having a very fun, genuine friendship. Bonus points for being a rare boy/girl relationship that is never so much as hinted to be anything beyond platonic.

The Villains- The Magician’s Nephew has a pretty perfect combination of antagonists who manage to be memorable and legitimately menacing as well as pathetic little meow meows. This book gives us Jadis’ backstory as well as her getting to wreak unhinged havoc in downtown 18XX London as well as Uncle Andrew, a conspiracy theorist incel Redditor before Reddit was ever a thing. They’re delightfully entertaining in completely different ways, and seeing them onscreen would be an absolute treat.

Thematic Resonance- lots of things that happen in this book carry a lot of similar motifs to other films that Greta Gerwig has worked on, and since she hasn’t really created any epic fantasy style films yet, they could provide a strong emotional core to center any experimentation she tries out in the genre. You’ve got Digory’s loving but complicated relationship with his mother due to her illness displacing them from home, the coming-of-age aspects as the children encounter various adult figures they feel powerless to oppose, and learning the consequences of one’s actions. It’s even mentioned in the book that Polly is working on a little writing project that she’s sensitive about, like Jo March. A lot of people have complained that they feel Greta Gerwig will neuter the story by toning down the religious elements (which there is A LOT to dissect about concerning how C S Lewis’ beliefs led to things like the Problem of Susan, but there just isn’t enough information about the actual movie out yet to draw any actual conclusions) yet I’d argue that these emotional arcs, which play into Gerwig’s strengths as a director, could easily hold up a movie on their own if handled well. Combine that with the potential for unique visuals, the book’s surprisingly good sense of humor, and the many concepts that could be brought onscreen in a truly unique way, and you’ve practically got a recipe for a great addition to the Chronicles of Narnia unlike anything the movie fans have gotten before.

Feel free to disagree about any of that, though. Hearing where other people think the netflix movies should pick up would be really interesting, so leave any thoughts on the subject in the notes if you want. I just wanna see Fledge the pony accidentally get yanked into another dimension.

A/N: My last one of these did pretty well, so here is part 2 with more characters, enjoy!

Link To Pt. 1

SLIGHT NSFW FOR ADAM

MDNI

———————————————————————

Lucifer: Literally any pet name you can think of- All the time. He uses pet names more than your actual name. His favorites are Darling, My love, Sweetheart.

Mimzy: Sugar, Dollface, Buttercup, Cinnamon- Would use nicknames for most people, really unique cute ones.

Adam: Hot stuff, Eye Candy, Ball Plunger, Meat Condom, Weiner Wetter- …. Can’t change my mind. Every day, all day. You don’t have a name anymore.

Rosie: Darling, Sweetheart/Sweetie, Love, Doll- Sweet auntie vibes. Love her, she would use them pretty often, both platonic and romantic.

Lute: Hon - Honestly all I could think of. I love her but I feel like she wouldn’t use them much.

Sera: Darling, Dove, Sunshine - She uses pet names on certain people, like children (don’t be weird in like a motherly way), or her SO.

Cherri Bomb: Sugar Pie, Dollface, Cutie, Good looking, Boo - She would use nicknames on people that she close to, like friends. You will usually get a nickname specifically for you :)

Sir pentious: Uhhhh - He would try but can not for the life of him figure any out. Like bro would call you an egg and then just never again.

Nifty (Platonic): Beetle, Rolly pollie, Roach - Personal headcanon of mine; she likes to give people nickname based on different bugs.

———————————————————————

A/N: Okay i think I got all the main/Reaccuring characters. Ngl I had so much fun making silly ones for Adam. He is literally the original fuck boy. I was dying laughing making them. But anywho hope you enjoyed! :)

74 (AND WHY IS IT 10), 76, 84 (pt.2)

74. at what pain level out of ten (1 through 10) do you have to be at before you take an advil or ibuprofen?

its NOT 10!!!!!! its just like. 7 or maybe 8!!!!!! listen listen listen. a bitch cannot take the regular painkillers u know this. when painkillers r like. 50p-£1 for a dose instead of PENNIES then ur gonna wait until its pain to the point of distraction!!! if i can focus on something n not be noticing the main really until i tune back in then its fine!!!!! also u know u gotta time those doses for maximum efficiency n not just. head hurty.

76. what’s your favorite potato food (i.e. tater tots, baked potatoes, fries, chips, etc.)?

oh the impossible QUESTION. all potato products good products but uhhhh. toss up between croquettes or a real good roast potato. if the roastie is crunchy on the outside to the point its hard to cut and fluffy on the inside? those. but any croquette is better than a mid roast potato.

84. barbie or polly pocket?

uhhhhh. my main toy i remember as a child was an animal hospital with little dog and polar bear figurines so like. that. would be my real choice- but like i guesssss barbies?? i do not have a strong opinion on this but i feel like. u lose all the bits from polly pockets

weird asks that say a lot

#sage i love u #stop bullying me #nyxtalks #ask #ask game

[raemeh]

uhmm polly darton. Basically he’s an adopted kid along with his brother Vince and they grow up happy with their grandma (their guardian) until she got kicked by a horse uhhhh (the urge to say L everytime i say that pollyyyy i’m so sorry lmao) but besides from that he’s a clean slate for trauma :] that my dm will smack me in the face with/hj

AND ALSO!! The unrequited love/crush he has is on another band member (all the pcs in this campaign are all bards-we are so dumb-and all are diffrent music genres) called Eddie/Lovebug Eddie who seems cool and mysterious but is actually just a silly guy hehhee he made a cake out of melatonin and polly smacked him in the face to get him to spit it out ahdhsks

also polly and eddie are sad since eddie pushes away everyone he loves (a LOT of one night stands on this adventure) and polly sees this happen everytime and is like ‘i don’t want to go through that its ok” but he is STRUGGLING/hj/silly go for it polly kiss that guy!!!

idk if you wanted to know about polly but ahdhsj yeah thats him

AWE AUGH I love him already

#Briar’s the same way of “keep everyone to a distance so you don’t get attached.” So i feel like if they were to meet Polly would just do the #-Same thing

[ike-mcswains-mortician]

(the only campaign we’ve only ever finished in a way you’re supposed to was a TPK to one guy) The pre-written campaign my dm chose is Curse Of Strahd and all i know is hot vampire guy. uhhhh ik its a fucked up campaign tho/pos

AND WE’VE ALL DECIDED TO PLAY BARDS. UHM. dumb idea oh god. all our character are in a band called AC/DC (armour class difficulty class) and they are all different music genres and can’t agree on a genre to play uhhh yeah :D

I’m playing a guy called Polly Darton, a satyr bard who plays country but refuses to call it that since ‘COUNTRY KILLED MY GRANDMA OK?’ and he’s so silly i love him <33 he is such a guy actually- his instrument is a banjo strapped to the back of a guitar and he was the best man, the best man and the man of honour at his brothers wedding (for his brother, his brother’s husband, and his brothers wife- POLYAMORY) sorry this is such a long ask uhhh more oc thoughts and your oc questions to be asked!!!

- art: how'd they make smth so good. Damn how does color theory work wtf

- cooking: who figured out what shit to mash up to make good tasting stuff and who also figured out what shit not to mix up

- myths / legends: fantasy related things have always caught my eye tbh even if some of it isn't fantasy it's just. so magical even if most of it isn't true. specifically egyptian / greek / roman mythology [(could u tell i was a fan of the percy jackson / kane series. plus most of the other ones except the norse one although i had another series for that. idk the name but i know i loved it :-3c)]

these are all ships, right? but party is 44 and the rest of the characters are in their 30s. also this guy made the venuscare au which is uhhhh yeah you know

also this person literally asked for fanfics of party x uni and party x funfi, not minding if it was SMUT! FUCKING SMUT!

their bio literally states that they might draw art that isn’t “appropriate for all audiences” [most likely nsfw]

this is just my anon post to like.. boycott @/dr-party-x-funfetti cuz of the ridiculous age gaps

(p.s i am aware that there are couples with this age gap, but still keep in mind that party would be a teen when uni hatched, as an example. it’s just not okay)

[finalvortex]

saw a post that said something like 'combine your oldest fandom with your current fandom' and uhhhh. um. well.

i'm giving flora a sabre, ancestor of one of the modern fencing weapons. it would probably be more canon-compliant to give her a rapier or smallsword but consider that the sabre looks cool. for various reasons i am not giving her anne's leaves or missing shoe

idk exactly what hershel would do in wartwood, probably be some kind of teacher? like both canon hersh and hop pop he is a serial adopter of random children he just met

alfendi is half-newt. i think he already has DID at this point, i imagine that when he switches alters his skin changes color, like gunther in that one episode

katrielle is here also filling the polly role, but honestly i don't have anything especially interesting to say about her

i don't know if or when i'll get to them but i have thoughts on which characters fill which other roles outside of the layton family. hopefully this is one of at least four

[your-local-uwu-artist]

Wha- what’s the pollypocket shoe incident?

oh boy, well i could give the short version but thats less fun soo

alright i guess ill start by saying that i was VERY young, young enough that if we went by the age rating put on the box, i wasn't supposed to be playing with small toys like polly pockets. but i had always loved miniatures, it would have been very out of character for me to attempt to eat any small pieces, so this wasn't a concern

so i was playing with polly pockets on my parent's bed, no clue why i was on my parents bed, but i distinctly remember that part, also worth noting that i was alone. And lastly factor number 3 is that i had a really runny nose

that last part's important because at some point: i sneezed and it was all downhill from there

so some snot got on the little pollypocket shoe i was holding, and uh

you know how when you watercolor and tilting the paper you can see the watery parts reflect in the light- it makes a little shiny effect. and snot's liquid, so it well, also made a little shiny effect, so the once sorta rubbery textured shoe was now a sorta shiny sorta rubbery textured show

(to little-me's credit it wasn't like, thick green snot, there was just a lot of it sense i didn't know how to blow my nose. it was just enough that i noticed the reflective property of it)

and my little toddler brain was fucking hyped bout' this, and i guess my thought process was along of the lines of "snot made shoe shiny" "snot comes from nose" and "shoe small enough to fit in nose" "shoe in nose= shoe SHINY :DDDD"

so naturally i started sticking pollypocket shoes up my nose,

and it was fine! (at first)

i want to make it clear that this wasn't like, a toddler agressively shoving plastic up their naval cavity: i was being so very careful, just- really delicately and gently dipping polly pocket shoes up my nose

little me though this was a wonderful discovery, certainly a small detail i mentioned in an earlier paragraph won't become relevant, certainly this is a flawless plan and ah would you look at that theres a miniscule shoe stuck up my nose now wow who could've guessed :(

and so obviously once i told my mom she instructed me to blow my nose, as it isn't far up and should be easy to get out

...so uhhhh fun fact at this time in my life if i was instructed to blow out into a tissue i would proceed to blow in very hard and audibly.

"blow your nose"

*loudly sucks in*

"no like blow your nose OUT"

*loudly sucks in nose even harder*

...so yeah this actually made things a lot worse

we ending up having to go to the emergency room, Little-me was pleasantly surprised that we did get the polly pocket shoe back: i wrote an unnecessarily long anecdote bout' the incident for school at some point: to this day me and my mom cant agree/remember if the shoe was purple or pink, but we both recall it being a high-heel sandal

#kyuchat #could i have just said : once i stuck i pollypocket shoe up my nose cause the snot made it shiny but it got stuck #yes #but i have adhd we are known to elongate mundane stories nfkjsda
